Abstract: An attachment/detachment mechanism for an antenna is configured to avoid damage to the antenna when an excessively large force is applied to the antenna, regardless of the direction. A rotational L-shaped connector of an antenna section of the antenna is connected to an antenna housing disposed on a main electronic device unit. A fitting groove is formed on a male fitting cylinder on the rotational L-shaped connector side, and an O-ring is fitted to the groove. An engagement projection formed on an inner wall of a female fitting cylinder on the antenna housing frictionally engages with the O-ring. This configuration allows rotation and attachment/detachment of the antenna section relative to the antenna housing. A contact member is attached to the fitting cylinder to contact a contact spring 31 that presses the O-ring against the engagement projection.

Abstract: A method of providing fabrication-historic data for a semiconductor device to a chip, has the step of: preparing a wafer with a pattern of a plurality of chips, where each chip has a product area to function as a semiconductor device and a fabrication-historical data area on which fabrication-historical data is to be held, wherein different fabrication-historical data is provided for each chip by exposing all of the chips on the wafer as a single unit by means of an exposure system using a mater mask while the product area of each chip is shielded from exposure or in one of the steps of forming the contact holes and carrying out wiring among the transistors. Consequently, the process can be easily performed because of the exposure in one operation using the master mask and thus the fabrication-historical data can be easily mounted on the chip.

Abstract: The present invention is for providing an antenna device in a portable radio, capable of transmitting and receiving in frequency bands used in two different communication systems without the performance irregularity even in the case of the mass production. By having the inductance per unit length along the elongating direction of the upper antenna element larger than that of the lower antenna element, the entire antenna element is resonated at a first frequency f1 as a quarter wave ground antenna element and is also resonated at a second frequency f2 lower than the frequency three times as much as the first frequency f1 as a three quarter wave ground antenna. Since the antenna element is formed with an antenna pattern printed on a printed wiring board, antenna elements with the same shape can be obtained, and thus the antenna performance irregularity cannot be generated even in the case of the mass production.

Abstract: First and second helical antenna elements are connected in series with a radio signal. The first helical antenna element resonates at a first frequency as a ¼-wavelength antenna. The series combination of the first and second helical antenna elements resonates as a ¾ wavelength antenna at a second frequency respectively. The two frequencies differ by less than a factor of three. A retractable rod antenna shorts out one of the antenna elements in an extended position at which it is connected to the radio, and is disconnected from the radio in its retracted position. The rod antenna resonates as a ¼-wavelength antenna at the first frequency.
